I am curious about technolgies that are being used in your production boxes
Mine is as follows

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (recently upgraded from 10.04 LTS without any major issues)
Zend Server Community edition 5.6
MySQL 5.5 (Clustered)
Varnish
Squid
Apache ActiveMQ using stomp
And mesh of python scripts and daemons that have a mind of their own lol chomping away at queued data...

We have one similar machine to what you have above as well

Our dev's prefer My SQL 5.3 though :)
 
couchdb - nosql database
node.js - webserver

across 12 nodes in 3 data centers.

and a 2 node (high availability) load balancer (ubuntu VM's) where our DNS points, directing requests to one of the above nodes.


;P
 
In short:
- Debian Stable
- PostgreSQL
- Apache
- Python
 
Perhaps I should change my name lol. On a different I need some advice, If I am going to get a couple of cloud/virtual instances off-shore where should I be looking to get the best latency, The reason why I am asking is, I am on a limited budget and my target audience is located in various places the around Africa and not restricted to just here.

Nice, good to see that people are beginning to pick up the new stuff lol. I have been meaning to try Node, will definitely have a look at it this weekend.
How is it on machine resources? and how does it perform on load?

The latency would depend a lot on where your audience's connections generally break out. Most the undersea cables have a termination point in England so should offer good latency to UK based servers.

I used mongo on a previous project for storing realtime stats, It was a fun... I will definitely use it again. We did eventually drop it for Redis because we found that it slows down under load and we really didn't need the extra features. But anyway, that must have been Mongo 1.7 and I am sure they have ironed out those issues by now.
 
CentOS 6.5, Apache, Varnish, MySQL 5.5, PHP 5.3
Windows 7, VS.NET 10, SQL Server 2008 (and some 2005), PHP.NET Intellisense for VS.NET. VirtualBox (running my dev "stack" above for LAMP), RAD 2008 for my Delphi stuff and notepad for my Classic ASP stuff ;)
